Thursday, September 29, 2011Good morning crew,
This is the deep breath before the plunge. It's going to be nice and quiet for the next month and then life turns into a madhouse staring around Halloween and ending somewhere in February.
So enjoy it, folks. Lock yourselves in your homes. Watch TV. Ignore the phone. Because the holidays are approaching!
Of course, Oktoberfest doesn't count. So drink up! That's what I'm planning on doing.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***"Correspondence schools are full of it. I saw an ad where they claimed they could teach you veterinarian medicine thought the mail. Hate to be a dog in that house. "Mail's here!" "Yip, yip, yip!" Talk about being a regular in the pet store, "Hey, didn't I already sell you a puppy?" --Drew Carey
***"I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a "learning experience." Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a "learning experience." It makes me feel less stupid." --P. J. O'Rourke
***Our 25-year-old son moved back home with an eye toward socking away money to buy a condo. We never bothered asking how long he'd planned to stay, but I got a pretty good idea when I walked into his room recently. In the corner was a milk jug with a few coins in it and a label that read "Condo down payment."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*As a secret shopper for a large department store, my sister made purchases at various chains and then reported back to supervisors on the clerks' performances. After a few weeks, I asked her if she was enjoying her new job.
"I love it!" she replied. "I'm getting paid for doing two of my favorite things in life--shopping and criticizing people."
